https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189057 A.J. "Fonz" van Werven <freebsd@skysmurf.nl> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |freebsd@skysmurf.nl --- Comment #2 from A.J. "Fonz" van Werven <freebsd@skysmurf.nl> --- There has been no additional feedback from anyone else, so I figured it's time to move this along (in whatever direction). Although I agree that ls(1) already has many options, that same argument can easily be bent and shaped the other way around to say: if there are already 256 options, what does one more matter? And another argument is that, as far as I can see, stat(1)-based and similar one-liners don't work too well with other ls(1) options. However, I think I might have come up with another solution: how about if I create a port instead? That way everybody wins: the FreeBSD source tree remains blissfully unaffected, yet those who like this feature (it wasn't my idea, but I liked it enough to implement it) can install it from the ports tree. If it's agreed that creating a port is a better way to go, this bug can be closed as far as I'm concerned. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
